In South Africa we were not with a unique culture but they exist a diversity of cultures that have enriched music, the art and the kitchen of the country. The racial variety of the country is very ample. At the beginning of century XX 60% of the population era of black race, 30% of racially mixed or to a large extent surasiáticos white race and the rest. The predominant religion is the Christian: 55% of the protestant population, 9% catholic. The rest of inhabitants is Hindu, Muslim or of other confessions. But due to the apartheid an unequal cultural development between the different racial and ethnic groups has taken place, historically separated. Between the population of European origin, the English culture has emerged lately like dominant after the aim of the apartheid and the international isolation. The old distinction between afrikaners, more nationalistic and religious, and the Anglo-Saxons, more liberal and cosmopolitan, are erasing between the young and urban generations. However in the countryside afrikaners still resists to leave the traditional, isolated culture during centuries of the evolution of Europe. The urban black culture is multi-ethnic and as much has an increasing influence in the country as outside, for example between the Afro-American ones. It is necessary to indicate that in the urban zones it is beginning to arise a interracial culture. In the countryside with black majority a reaffirmation of the traditions of each ethnic group usually takes place, in which customs as the polygamy and the dowries are common. As far as other remarkable ethnic groups, the one is the group of the mestizos that has indicated a greater reaffirmation. This group of mixed race constitutes 9% of the population of South Africa. To the people of this group " is denominated to them with the term; of coloured" , unlike other Anglo-Saxon countries like the United States or Great Britain, where the term " of coloured" it has fallen in disuse.
